Chapter 28

As she laid on the little pink bed, Nellie blinked her big eyes and looked at the man earnestly. “You’ve
been with Nellie for a long time, and it’s time to go to work. Just ask the Auntie to come over and tell
me a story!”

Joshua took the storybook. “I can tell a good story.” Nellie was flabbergasted.
“You lie! I’ve heard your stories before!” The little girl stretched out her hand and shook his sleeves. “I
want Auntie, Daddy. Go ahead…”
After her repeated requests, Joshua finally stepped out of her room, incredibly disappointed.
Luna stood in the corridor, outside the door, as she waited for him to leave.

The man pushed open the door and looked at Luna with a face full of displeasure before he lifted his
feet and left.
Luna shook her head helplessly before she pushed the door in.
“Mommy. ” Nellie leaned toward Luna and said in a low voice, “Don’t you think Daddy is being too
gentle today? It looks like he’s terrified of losing us, too.”
“The one he’s afraid of losing is you.” Luna pushed the little girl back onto the bed and gently covered
her with the quilt. “Mommy has lost all feelings for him a long time ago. The only thing tying me to him
is the three of you.
“So…” The woman gently stroked her daughter’s head. “Don’t expect Mommy to fall for him, okay?”
Nellie pursed her lips and lowered her head guiltily. ” Oh.”

At a food stall in the west of the city.
Neil sat on a chair and watched the people in the food stall from all walks of life. He listened to the
hustle and bustle, feeling inexplicably excited and happy.

When he was abroad, Mommy was always busy. The three of them were bored at home every day.
Apart from their godfather and servants, they had no other friends. They would occasionally go out to
eat but never like this: sitting at an open-air table, the atmosphere warm and lively with so many people



surrounding them. So this was what it felt like to be immersed in society! “Young man, my name is
Zach and the one next to you is Yuri. How should we address you?” Two security guards were beside
him, one on the left and the other on the right like two guardians. “It’s because of you that the two of us
brothers can rise to the top! “ How to address him? Neil frowned. “I’m Neil.” “Neil? ” Zach shook his
head. “Your name is such a mouthful.” “Why don’t the two of us address you as our boss, our brother in
the future? We’ll follow you for the rest of our lives!” Neil almost spat out the orange juice in his mouth.
” But I’m only six years old…”

“But you are amazing! ” Yuri looked at Neil with admiration. “You can operate such a difficult machine,
and you can also get better jobs for the both of us. Most adults can’t even do that!”
Neil was lost in their praise. “Well, you’ll be my brothers from now on, and you’ll work hard for me in the
Lynch Group! “
“Good! Cheers!”
The three of them raised their glasses.
Zach and Yuri drank beer while Neil drank orange juice.
Not long after, Zach got drunk and lay motionless on the table while Yuri went to attend to nature’s call.
Neil looked at the people eating barbecue skewers in the distance and felt inexplicably satisfied.
In fact, life like this was pretty good.
It would be better if his brother, Nellie, and his mother were all here, though…
Some time later, someone sat down to his right.
He thought it was Yuri who came back from the toilet, and he asked him without looking back, “I like
the story about catching the thief just now. Do you have any other stories?”
The people around him fell silent.
After a while, a low and noble -sounding male voice rang out faintly, “What story do you want to hear? “
This voice…
Neil turned his head abruptly.
The man sitting next to him was Joshua Lynch!
